Johnny Benson Returns to Busch Series as New Driver for Phoenix Racing

SPARTANBURG, SC (January 15, 2004) -- Phoenix Racing owner James
Finch announced today that Johnny Benson will be the driver of the #1
Yellow Transportation Dodge in the NASCAR Busch series.

"I am very excited about the opportunity to race with Johnny
Benson," Finch said. "He will bring a new level of
experience to the team this season. Our primary goal is to continue the
on track success with Yellow, and we feel Johnny can do that for
us."

Benson joins Phoenix with an impressive resume. He has three
Rookie-of-the-Year titles - 1990 in ASA, 1994 in the Busch series and
1996 in the Cup series. He also has two championships under his belt -
1993 in ASA and 1995 in the Busch Series.

"I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with Phoenix
Racing this season," Benson said. "I am looking forward to
being part of a first class team that has the full support of its
sponsor. There are a lot of really strong competitors in the Busch
series, but I'm up for the challenge. I feel like this is going to
be a strong season for all of us and that the #1 car will be contending
for the championship."

Former Phoenix Racing driver David Stremme will be behind the wheel of a
Busch car supported by Chip Ganassi Racing following a change in the
business relationship between the Ganassi organization and Phoenix
Racing.
